🎄 Cozy Christmas – October 2025 Paper Pumpkin Alternatives

A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop

Welcome to another A Paper Pumpkin Thing, APPT, Blog Hop. Each month, our creative crew reimagines the kit, proving you can absolutely think outside the box, literally. I am hopping with the talented PPX Crew and fellow Stampin’ Up! demonstrators to bring you fresh ideas and useful tips.

Each project in this hop features the October kit with coordinating Stampin’ Up! products. If you are new here, hi, I am Linda Cullen from Massachusetts, and you have landed on my blog, Crafty Stampin’. Scroll to the bottom for the full list of participating blogs so you can tour all the clever and colorful alternatives.

About the October Kit – Cozy Christmas

This kit brings classic holiday style with soft, flocked details that mimic stitching. You get printed card bases, matching envelopes, precut pieces, and red sequins that behave like tiny twinkle lights. The supplies are easy on the hands, the look is timeless, and the results do not require a magnifying lamp or a prayer.

🎄 Card: Joyful Hoop Ornament Card

This card transforms the kit’s ornament into a bold focal point, then frames it with a Large Gold Hoop for a touch of jewelry-box drama. The Cherry Cobbler card base keeps it cozy. The ornament says Joy, and yes, it delivers.

I attached the Large Gold Hoop to the Cherry Cobbler card base with standard tape under the section of the Kit Card base, then placed the dimensionals around it to support the Designer Series Paper panel.

The kit includes a three-piece layered ornament. Pop each layer with Dimensionals to achieve that pretty shadow line. Center the ornament over the hoop. Die cut Joy from Textured Metallic Gold Foil with the Abundant Joy Dies. Use Mini Dimensionals and place it across the ornament.
